This past weekend something happened that made me mad. I’m not going to go into the details, but it involved people not keeping their word and being shady. I was not happy at all. I was at the point of looking up emails and phone numbers and letting people know exactly how I felt. The events could have gone further south and thank God they didn’t. Through the process, Angela told me multiple times, “Just relax, this is in God’s hands now.” I repeatedly told her that I knew but I was still mad. I was trying to get over it, but it wasn’t working. I tried playing with my kids, but it didn’t take my mind off of things. Continue Reading→

Everyone knows that if you want to be a good Christian there are 3 things you have to do: read the Bible, worship, and pray. While there is a lot of sarcasm in that last sentence, those things are important to having a relationship with God. The worship part is the easiest for me.

This isn’t late breaking news, but just in case you missed it: President Barack Obama was elected to a second term. I already believe the things people (including myself) will rant about Facebook and Twitter can be a little absurd, but what I saw following the election last Tuesday really made me think.

I saw posts in which people were calling for states to secede from the United States. I’ve read that there are twenty-one states that have people starting petitions for this to happen.

Today when I got to work I had a lot of things on my mind. We are really short staffed this week and it has been hectic. At some point during the day I was supposed to get a call from a mom who had some concerns. It was starting to rain and weather reports were saying it would stay that way all day, so I had to start coming up with a plan for what to do if that happened. It wasn’t shaping up to be an ideal morning. Continue Reading→
